By Vegas standards, his #s are so-so, and not even as good as last year's. And he has had a ton of hitting support behind him, which should help his numbers. Easy to hit in the midst of a hitting party. They've scored 6.3 RPG over their last 35 games.<br /><br />He needs to really ramp it up, or there is little chance of him being the starting 2B next year. In fairness, all 8 of his homers have come in 25 games started in May, so the Herrera ramp up may already be underway.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-59143043580620496432016-05-31T10:11:02.162-04:002016-05-31T10:11:02.162-04:00Beyond Herrera's pop -- which is Vegas inflate...Beyond Herrera's pop -- which is Vegas inflated -- I think his .276 BA and .320 OBP is pretty uninspiring. <br /><br />If the Mets are going to let Walker explore free agency, if they are going to hand the job to Herrera in 2017, if they hope to save $15 million per year at the second base position, he better start performing at a higher level. Those Vegas numbers roughly translate to a BA under .240 and an OBP under .300 at the ML level. That is: Nuh-uh, not good enough. <br /><br />He needs to blast the door off the hinges. Right now, he's gently tapping. It would be very hard for a team like the Mets, built to win right now, to replace Walker with a guy like Herrera. He needs to step it up. I'm hopeful, but . . . there are world championships on the line.<br /><br />Jimmy P<br /><br />Jimmy PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
